Stop Folding

When you visit this page your computer will automatically start
to fight disease by running protein folding simulations for
scientists around the world. We call this "folding". You can stop
folding at any time by clicking the button above.

You are contributing to project N/A.

The progress bar shows an estimate of how long the current task should
take. The text directly below the progress bar tells you what task
the client is currently working on. Typical tasks are downloading,
waiting, running a simulation or sending back results.

Scientists submit simulation projects to Folding@home.
The project box displays information about the simulation project
currently running on your computer. It tells you information about
the science, the type of disease being targeted and the person
or persons responsible for the research.

Folding power controls how much of your computer's resources
Folding@home uses. If you want to see what your high performance
system can do crank it up to Full. If your computer
starts to stress out move it to Light to give it a
break.

These settings have the following meaning:

Light

20%

Medium

60%

Full

100%

Actual usage will be less than these values and depends on how many
CPU cores your system has available and what other processes are
running on your computer at the time.

We're sorry, the information you entered does not meet our
requirements.

Unsupported Name

A can contain Latin letters, numbers and standard punctuation with
no white-space.

Leave it blank to fold anonymously.

Unsupported Team

Team identifiers must be whole numbers no more than ten digits
long.

Enter 0 for no team.

Unsupported Passkey

Passkeys must be exactly 32 characters long and contain only:
0123456789abcdefABCDEF

If you do not have a passkey please leave this field blank.

Nothing was saved. Please make corrections and try again.

Sorry if you're having trouble. There are many online resources to
help you.

Scientists at Stanford University and around the world
utilize your donated computer time to better understand and develop
cures for some of humanity's worst diseases. Simply by running
Folding@home software you are aiding research for Alzheimer's,
Huntington's, and many cancers.

People like you, from all over the globe, currently
donate the unused power of over a quarter of a million computers,
forming the world's most powerful distributed super-computer.

The Science

Proteins help fight disease by first assembling themselves or
"folding". When proteins misfold, there can be serious health
consequences.

If we better understand protein misfolding we can design drugs and
therapies to combat these illnesses.

We're sorry, we could not load Folding@home in your browser because
our Web app requires Google
Chrome version 31 or better.

This Folding@home Web App requires Google Native Client which is
provided by the Google Chrome
browser. You can check to see if you have version 31 or
better by typing chrome://version in to your address bar.

Have you enabled NaCl?

Currently you must enable Native Client manually by typing
chrome://flags/#enable-nacl into the Chrome address bar
and clicking Enable. If it says Disable that means
Native Client is already enabled.

Is NaCl debugging disabled?

Native Client debugging is disabled by default but if it is enabled
it will inhibit our software from running. To ensure debugging is
disabled, type chrome://flags/#enable-nacl-debug into the
Chrome address bar check the setting.

After making changes did you restart your browser?

To make changes to the NaCl settings take effect, choose
Quit from your browser menu and start again.

Are you connected to the Internet?

You must be connected to the Internet to run Folding@home. Our
software downloads problems to work on from scientific institutions
around the world and uploads solutions found by your computer which
help scientists fight disease.
